URL Method

[pkrtech]

Just installed latest download everything went fine however when I change URL method to method 2 these are the problems....

The links for but not limited to,

Admin Profile Live Top users Tag cloud Logout Submit New Story

All get bugged and lose there full names

example...

http://www..com/system/submit.php

becomes

http://www..com/system/submit

example2..

http://www..com/system/admin_index.php

becomes

http://www..com/system/admin

And all of them do not resolve correctly.



Also the rewrite rules coded here from the site is causing a server error I probally canfix this manually but could be a problem for others.

RewriteRule ^(all|system|)/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/?$ story.php?title=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^(all|system|)/?$ ?category=$1 [L]

If someone can tell me how to fix the method problem without me having to dig through all of the code that would be great!

The URLs you are seeing are correct. The point of URL method 2 is to have "clean" URLs and ones that are more search engine friendly. When you renamed your htaccess file, did you put a period in front of it? It should be called .htaccess. Did you edit the line where you put your sub-folder if you're installed in one?

For your second question, try taking out the extra pipe (in red) and see if that fixes it

RewriteRule ^(all|system|)/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/?$ story.php?title=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^(all|system|)/?$ ?category=$1 [L]

Ok I got it working, few hints, it should be added to the URL change method page that you need to rename the .htaccess file, also that if you installed in a sub folder you need to edit the RewriteBase line inside that file.

Also removing the second pipe from the Category Management code given worked.
